Cape Coral and Southwest Florida market reports.

Southwest Florida, with Cape Coral as one of the areas. The numbers we watch, published the way we read them: with the source, the date, and the gaps left visible. Weekly series: Cape Coral, Fort Myers and North Fort Myers in the current data query. Earlier rows may have used a different area definition; we are confirming it with our data source. No forecast, no best-time-to-buy claim, and nothing rounded up to look better than it is.

The charts

The trend, not the headline.

Each chart shows the last 50 weekly rows and prints its own data table underneath. Charts carry a written summary, so nothing here depends on seeing a line. A missing week is drawn as a gap, never smoothed over.

Median closed sale price, all homes versus single family
Median closed sale price, all homes versus single family Over the last 50 weeks, the median sale price for all homes moved from $371,000 to $357,000, and the single family median moved from $399,000 to $400,000. Both lines cover the same weeks. $300K $350K $400K $450K Oct 13, 2025 Sep 28, 2026
  • All homes $357,000, latest value in the chart
  • Single family $400,000, latest value in the chart
  • Latest week: Sep 28, 2026

What this shows: Over the last 50 weeks, the median sale price for all homes moved from $371,000 to $357,000, and the single family median moved from $399,000 to $400,000. Both lines cover the same weeks.

Both lines are closed sale prices for the week, not asking prices. A week with an unusual mix of homes for sale can move the median without any change in what an individual home is worth. Vertical axis starts at $300K, not zero, so small week to week moves look larger here than they are. The data table below has the exact figures.

What this shows: Closed sales ran between 135 and 427 per week over the last 50 weeks, finishing at 172 in the week of Sep 28, 2026.

Closed sales are reported for the week they record, so a holiday week or a slow closing month shows up as a dip that is about paperwork timing, not necessarily demand. Vertical axis starts at 100, not zero, so small week to week moves look larger here than they are. The data table below has the exact figures.

New listings versus pending contracts per week
New listings versus pending contracts per week New listings ran between 169 and 580 per week and pending between 161 and 491. Pending here counts listings that went pending that week and were still pending when counted, so it can undercount contracts that closed or fell through within the week.

New listings is a weekly count. Pending counts listings that went pending that week and were still pending when counted, so the two lines are not a matched flow comparison.

A buyer rate depends on credit, loan type, points and lender. This line is context for the direction of the market, not an offer or an estimate for your loan. Vertical axis starts at 5.75%, not zero, so small week to week moves look larger here than they are. The data table below has the exact figures.

What this shows: Over the last 35 daily readings, active residential listings moved from 13,734 on Sep 17, 2026 to 14,621 on Oct 22, 2026, a change of 887.

Scope: residential for-sale listings in the MLS mirror (single family, condo, townhouse, villa, duplex, multi-family). Land, manufactured homes, rentals and commercial listings are excluded, which is why these counts do not match the raw listing total. NO water or canal filter is applied, and we cannot apply one here: our own statistics route ignores that parameter, so a mirror count is never presented as waterfront only. If you want the canal picture, use the Waterway Map. Vertical axis starts at 13,600, not zero, so small week to week moves look larger here than they are. The data table below has the exact figures.

Pending counts homes under contract but not yet closed, so they move with both buyer activity and closing paperwork timing. Same residential for-sale scope as the active chart above, and the same rule applies: no water filter, because the route ignores one. Vertical axis starts at 2,800, not zero, so small week to week moves look larger here than they are. The data table below has the exact figures.

Source: our MLS mirror daily statistics, collected Oct 22, 2026. Read live when this page renders and cached for up to six hours. Scope: residential for-sale, all Southwest Florida cities the mirror covers, no canal filter. The two charts above use separate axes because active and pending run at very different levels.

Plain English

How to read these numbers.

Market data is easy to misread on purpose. Here is exactly what each figure on this page is, and what it is not.

The median is the middle, not an estimate

Median sale price is the middle closed sale of the week. Half closed above it and half below. It is not an average, it is not a prediction, and it is not a value for any specific home. A $300,000 house and a $3,000,000 house do not pull the median the way they pull an average, but a run of large new-build closings can still lift it for a week without anything changing for your street.

The weekly series scope

Weekly series: Cape Coral, Fort Myers and North Fort Myers in the current data query. Earlier rows may have used a different area definition; we are confirming it with our data source.

Flows are not totals

New listings and closed sales are weekly flows: how much moved through the market that week. Listings that went pending during the week and were still pending when counted. The active inventory figure is a total: how much is sitting there right now. Mixing the two up is the most common way a market report misleads, so they are kept in separate sections with separate sources.

Blanks are blanks

Where the source does not publish a value, this page prints not reported and draws a gap. It does not carry the last known number forward, does not average across the gap, and does not use a zero. The expired column has been blank since early July 2026 and the single family median starts in July 2025: both are visible as gaps rather than quietly smoothed.

Asking price is not sale price

The weekly section reports closed sale prices. The inventory block reports counts of active and pending listings, and a median asking price if you open the data table, which is what sellers are asking, not what buyers paid. The two are labeled differently on purpose, and we do not present one as the other.

A week is a small sample

Weekly series: Cape Coral, Fort Myers and North Fort Myers in the current data query. Earlier rows may have used a different area definition; we are confirming it with our data source. One unusual closing, a holiday week, or a slow recording day can move a weekly figure more than any change in the market did. That is why every chart here shows a year of weeks: the direction is the point, the last number is not.

Methodology

Where every number comes from.

Two datasets, two sources, two scopes. Neither is a forecast, and neither is adjusted, seasonally or otherwise.

Weekly sale and rate figures

  • What: median closed sale price (all homes and single family), closed sales, new listings, pending, price decreases, mortgage rate.
  • Weekly series: Cape Coral, Fort Myers and North Fort Myers in the current data query. Earlier rows may have used a different area definition; we are confirming it with our data source.
  • Cadence: one row per week.
  • As of: Sep 28, 2026.
  • Rows in the snapshot: 149 weekly rows.
  • How this page gets it: a static snapshot of the canonical source file is shipped with the site, so the charts render even when our listings service is restarting. The snapshot records the source file path, a SHA-256 of the source file and the row count at export time.
  • What it is not: not a valuation, not a forecast, not seasonally adjusted, not per city, and not a quote for a mortgage.

Daily inventory counts

  • What: count of active listings, count of pending listings, and the median asking price across the mirror universe.
  • Scope: residential for-sale listings (single family, condo, townhouse, villa, duplex, multi-family) across every city the mirror covers. Land, manufactured homes, rentals and commercial listings are excluded, which is why these counts are lower than a raw listing total. No water or canal filter, and none can be applied here.
  • Cadence: collected once a day.
  • Collected: Oct 22, 2026.
  • How this page gets it: read live from our own listings service with a six hour cache and a short negative cache. If it does not answer in time the block says so instead of showing an old count.
  • What it is not: not a sold-price measure, not water filtered, and not a Cape Coral only count.

We are a real estate team, not a data vendor. These pages exist because we read this data every week anyway, and because a buyer or seller who understands the trend asks better questions. Every figure here is read-only. If you want the underlying file, ask us and we will send it.

Questions

Market questions, answered from the data above.

What does the median price on this page actually measure?

Weekly series: Cape Coral, Fort Myers and North Fort Myers in the current data query. Earlier rows may have used a different area definition; we are confirming it with our data source. It is the median closed sale price for the week: line every sale up from cheapest to most expensive and take the middle one. Half the sales closed above it and half below. It is not an average, not a Zestimate, and not an estimate of any single home. A different mix of homes selling in a given week moves the median even when nothing about values changed, which is why we show 50 weeks next to the week number instead of only the week number.

What area does the weekly series cover?

Weekly series: Cape Coral, Fort Myers and North Fort Myers in the current data query. Earlier rows may have used a different area definition; we are confirming it with our data source. The daily inventory counts on this page come from a different source, the MLS mirror universe, and they are labeled that way too.

Some cells say not reported. Why is a number missing?

Because the source did not publish it that week. For example the expired column has been blank since early July 2026, and the single family median price column only starts in July 2025. We leave those cells blank in the charts, print not reported in the tables, and never carry a value forward, average across the gap, or fill it with a zero. A blank is information: it tells you which parts of this series are complete and which are not.

Where do these numbers come from, and how current are they?

The weekly charts come from the canonical market statistics file we maintain, and every chart shows its own as of date. The daily inventory counts come from our MLS mirror and show the date they were collected. Each section names its source and the snapshot date, and an export date is recorded on the raw file the charts are built from. If a feed is unavailable when you load the page, the block says so rather than showing an old number as if it were current.

Is the inventory count water filtered?

No. The daily counts are the residential for-sale active and pending universe the mirror covers: single family, condo, townhouse, villa, duplex and multi-family, across every city in the mirror. Land, manufactured homes, rentals and commercial listings are excluded. No water or canal filter is applied, and our own statistics route ignores that parameter, so we never present a mirror count as waterfront only. If you want the canal picture, use the Waterway Map, which reads the city canal data per address.

Can I use this page to time the market?

No, and we do not publish a forecast or a best time to buy call. This page reports what already happened, with the date it happened, so you can see the trend yourself. Prices, rates and inventory move for reasons that weekly data cannot explain on its own. What the data is genuinely good for is knowing whether your own expectations still match the market you are walking into, which is exactly the conversation we have with a buyer or seller before they commit.
